Snow is softly falling outside my window here at the ol' homestead near Windsor... resting up and going into a bit of hibernation mode until the springtime... got one more gig to round out the year at The London Music Club for Home County's Home Grown Fundraiser on November 29th! Support Home County with an afternoon of music including The Rizdales, Thames River Valley Boys, myself and more! Doors at 2, show starts at 3pm, $12 in advance at Grooves and the LMC or $15.00 at the door. Also featuring a silent auction - bring your Christmas list! Also, Stitches and Incisions will be for sale at the show and more copies are available at Grooves in London, and Dr.Disc in Windsor!

"Border City Roots" is returning to the Windsor/Detroit airwaves on CJAM 99.1fm! My new timeslot is bright and early Wednesday mornings at 9:00am to 10:30am starting on December 2nd...! Stay tuned for more updates on interviews and features, and my annual 'Fireside' Christmas Radio Hour! Not in Windsor/Detroit? - tune in on www.cjam.ca.

Huge thank yous to the many, many folks who hosted Uncle Dan and myself along our epic tour.. made so many new friends and reconnected with a lot of my old pals. Without your help, hospitality and generosity a tour like this would not have been possible - thank you! Starting to work on booking festivals and touring for summer 2016, so get in touch if you'd like me to perform live in your area!

Allison Brown’s sweet, powerful singing offers a captivating invitation to follow her down lonesome railroad lines, into abandoned buildings, back in time, to high above the stratosphere as she illustrates landscapes both strange and familiar with her newest collection of songs.

Allison’s voice is experiencing an intense new elasticity as her instrument’s distinct tune and tone evolve with over twenty years of performance experience. Her endless repertoire of roots music matched with crafted originals create an unmistakable spark as she brings her truest personality to the stage in a refreshing conversation with the audience.

In concert, Allison often brings along longtime tourmate, Uncle Dan Henshall; expertly tearing through mandolin accents and solos. Uncle Dan is a prominent player as part of Allison's four-piece acoustic backing band The Assembly Line, which features harmony vocals, upright bass, accordion and more to showcase the full dynamic of Allison's songs and stories in a concert environment.

She released her most recent recording, "Stitches And Incisions" in August 2015 before embarking on a three month tour that included over 60 performances across six provinces. "Stitches & Incisions" clears away the rubble of bad luck and bad decisions to reveal the beautiful decay left behind as she tears down the walls of her evolving songwriting.
